Stadium animation favorites in exhibit

PITTSBURGH

The Toonseum’s new exhibit, “Pittsburgh Scores! The Pro Scoreboard Art of Kensington Falls Animation,” will open Dec. 21.

Pittsburgh sports fans will be familiar with these animations, which have been shown countless times on the scoreboard at Pirates, Steelers and Penguin games.

The Toonseum — the museum of cartooning — will offer them a closer look and an opportunity to meet the producer.

Kensington Falls established the Penguins’ “Steroid Penguin” character; and created two Pittsburgh Pirates favorites, “The Pirate Ship,” which does battle on the rivers with ships from opposing teams; and “Pirate Train,” featuring a comical engineer who leans out the window and gives a whistle.

Toonseum is at 945 Liberty Ave., downtown.
